Be Prepared for a Wildfire

Take an Active Role in Your Safety

  • Create a fire-resistant zone that is free of leaves, debris, or flammable materials at least 30 feet from your home.
  • Find an outdoor water source with a hose that can reach any area of your property.
  • Learn your evacuation routes, practice with household members and pets, and identify where you will go.
  • Have enough supplies for your household, including a first aid kit, in your go bag or car trunk.
  • Follow instructions from your local authorities. They will provide the latest recommendations and appropriate safety measures based on the specific threat to your community.
